Investment Thesis

Intonation Ventures sees the steady decline in happiness as one of humanity’s biggest challenges, citing a 6% fall in overall life satisfaction in the US between 2007 and 2018. They believe phenomenal products can reverse this trend. The firm invests in people, products, and missions that bring ‘fun and power,’ operating at the intersection of physical and digital worlds with an international perspective.

What Sets Them Apart

  • Obsessively product-centric approach - they learn most about teams from their products rather than traditional metrics
  • Immigrant founder background gives them genuine international perspective and affinity for founders with cross-border experience
  • Dual-market expertise through both Intonation Ventures (North America) and Borong Capital (Beijing)
  • Not afraid to be first to commit, first to wire, and first to help at early stages
  • In-house studio operation (Intonation Studios) - they build products themselves alongside investments
